Morning all quick question for Ed001 do you think we have any real interest in Hato as a Quansah replacement and if so how highly do you rate this young man, he would feel at home with all the Dutch family we currently have within our ranks, if he's that good why don't we just go for him, make him ours if he's available instead of paying £70/ 80 million for him in 2 or 3 yrs time when or if he takes over the reins from Big Virg as Hollands best cb.
{Ed001's Note - we don't seem to be interested in him right now. That maybe simply because we think it is best that he stays at Ajax to continue developing though. He certainly would love to sign for us, he is a Liverpool fan and close friends with Gravenberch. I think he looks potentially brilliant but he does need to play regularly to reach his potential.}

Based on your knowledge Ed, who are we looking at as of right now for that CB positions? Or is it still depend on whether Konate sign a new contract or not?
{Ed001's Note - Zeze and Ait-Boudlal. We need to replace Quansah anyway.}

Zézé and Ait Boudlal replacing Quansah would be ideal! But if Konate leaves we need a top CB.

Just wondering
Why are we raising the French league for CBs? They happen to have good talent? Or some stats or scouts are more familiar with that league?

Wouldn’t a buy now and loan back for the season sound good right about now. I don’t know much about him but apparently from this site and online he looks a very very good prospect.

Get both!
The French league tends to produce CBs that are made for the PL.
